This is the tightrope McCain must walk. In a way, I admire him for taking on issues the GOP typically avoids - but I have no faith that he will stick with it. In the end, I believe McCain will sell out to the hard liners in the GOP and go with their agenda. George H.W. Bush made the same mistake in 1992 - behind in the polls to Bill Clinton, Bush let the religious right hijack the convention. And he lost.

Henry10:19AMJul 7th 2008

Interesting to see his economic plan to be released. If it continues to immulate the Bush doctrine. That equals the end.

The place to be is definitely gonna be at the Paul convention!!! We're gonna party like it's 1787!

Keith Schath10:59AMJul 7th 2008

There doesn't seem to be much said on the new legislation Obama co-authored. It is the first and most important big step in allowing the people a well informed voice in government. It was a move that cut right to the heart of making spending and budget details visible. For the first time we have cut through the cloak of invisibility that made it impossible to see and hold bad government accountable. Not only that it is legislation that got unanimous support because to oppose it would be like saying that visibility of bad government wasn't a good thing.

This is where Obama's intimate knowledge of the constitution comes into play, cutting right to the heart of what will make a difference.

mountainlion11:24AMJul 7th 2008

stfu.....obama=loser....obama doesnt need a stadium, more like a big church like trinity united church of christ and his mentor wright can introduce him and his agenda for his new world order. is this why you suck up to obama, knowless ? are you angling for a job with obama for shoeshine boy ? vote american, vote mccain. justsaynodeal. puma.

Jack F. Doyle11:37AMJul 7th 2008

Too bad Jesse the Helmsman is not around to intro the newly conservative John McSame at the convention and if they could prop him up Billy Graham Cracker could do the prayer.
That would be the only one the R party has.

huck11:54AMJul 7th 2008

@Keith - Obama AND McCain both support FISA. Neither care about the constitution or your rights.

buck11:55AMJul 7th 2008

The only plausible reason I can come up with for the GOP pushing the loser candidate McCain on us Republicans is that they knew they were going to lose and chose someone at the very end of his career since it won't matter to him if he gets crushed in November. I'll be voting Bob Barr in November since the neo-conservatives have taken the GOP off on the wrong track for years.

Dottie1:11PMJul 7th 2008

Senator McCain has a new economic policy named Lexington Project. Over the weekend he made some remarks about his new policy but he mispronounced it twice on the third try he called it Project Lexington. He can't even remember the name of his economic policy Do we want this old man in the Whitehouse? I say hell no.

Republican Grandma For Obama1:19PMJul 7th 2008

Ok!
Lets think about this?
McCain is the man who voted to send our bravest to die looking for weapons of mass destruction that did not exist.
McCain is the man who does not know that 9-11 was caused by Osama Bin Laden not Sedam Hussein.
McCain is the man who does not know if the Sunnis or Sheits are our enemies!
McCain is the man who put our government on the China, Saudi Arabia credit card.
McCain is the man has adopted virtually the entire Bush agenda, often reversing long held positions and compromising supposed core principles. From Iraq, tax cuts for the wealthy, broken promises on the deficit to opposition to SCHIP, tax credits for health care, overturning Roe v. Wade and a right-wing Supreme Court, John McCain represents a third Bush term.
Get real!
Our only hope is Obama.

On The Obama Bus1:21PMJul 7th 2008

Do you ever wonder why so many people are getting on the Barack Hussein Obama bus?

Could it be that this nation is becoming colorblind and does not care if a good person is black, white, red or tan?

Could it be that the American people don’t care if a person worships as a Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, or Jew?

Could it be that people remember the scandals of the Clinton And Bush years?

Could it be that the American people know that if it was not for the Clinton’s filth and scandals that Al Gore would be completing his second term in office.

Could it be that the American people remember Bush and McCain looking into our eyes and saying, believe me there are weapons of mass destruction?

Could it be that the American people are shell shocked that over 4,000 precious lives have been lost fighting the wrong war in the wrong country against the wrong enemy?

Could it be that the American people realize that Carl Rove politics brought our nation to where it is today?

Angel For Obama1:23PMJul 7th 2008

John McCain is ready to be president?
Please!
Age does not give you wisdom.
The man admitted that he does not understand the economy.
He wants to fight a 100 year war fighting the wrong people in the wrong country.
I’m not saying that John McCain is not a nice man.
But I don’t want him in charge of my pocketbook.
We have had 8 years with a moron at the helm it’s time to get some new blood in the white house.
That is why I am supporting Barack Obama

THE INTELLECT OF JOHN MCCAIN1:28PMJul 7th 2008

John McCains understanding of the economy.

Its all in your head folks.

John McCain says the economic downturn is psychological. Having on multiple occasions admitted his limited understanding of the economy, Senator McCain instead turned armchair psychologist to diagnose the U.S economic slowdown. In April, McCain told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto that a lot of our problems today, as you know, are psychological. Apparently, seven months of job losses, oil at $140 a barrel, record gas prices at the pump, 47 million uninsured and a devastating home foreclosure crisis are merely figments of Americans’ imaginations.

Chuck1:32PMJul 7th 2008

The saddest thing about John McCain is that he is an imbecile. He has to rely on staff to try to make him look intelligent. Unfortunately he is not able to read their talking points. In this day and age how many people do not know how to use a computer? After all it is not rocket science!

REPLACE-DEMS-IN-CONGRESS1:35PMJul 7th 2008

"Taxpayers" voting for Barack Hussein Obama is like chickens voting for Colonel Sanders.

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS A GREAT PRESIDENT.

I have only respect for President Bush, Laura and the entire Bush family. They are Americans we can look up to and be proud of. I have always loved the Bush family --- They are a warm and loving family --- They have brought back dignity and class into the White House --- I will surely miss them.
Never in our history has a president had so many crises issues placed in front of him. His popularity remains in the 30’s --- higher than our current Congress.
President Bush has been blamed for everything from Katrina to the ongoing hornets nest in the Middle East, which was an issue even before Carter’s days in the White House. Some have even blamed President Bush for 9/11! Had Clinton stopped Bin Laden, 9/11 would not have happened.
Obama and Bush aren't exactly kindred spirits, but the Wall Street Journal editorializes that they're closer than we may think: We're beginning to understand why Barack Obama keeps protesting so vigorously against the prospect of "George Bush's third term." MAYBE HE'S WORRIED THAT SOMEONE WILL NOTICE THAT HE'S THE CANDIDATE WHO'S RUNNING FOR IT.

Most Presidential candidates adapt their message after they win their party nomination, but Obama isn't merely "running to the center." Obama is fleeing from many of his primary positions so markedly and so rapidly that he's embracing a sizable chunk of President Bush's policy. Who would have thought that a Democrat would rehabilitate the much-maligned Bush agenda?
Until we get the Democrats out of control in Congress, the damage cannot be undone --- and if the Democratic candidate (Obama) wins the presidency, we are in deep doo-doo that will forever leave it's stench and stain on our country.
The next President, whether Democrat or Republican, is going to embrace much of Mr. Bush's foreign and anti-terror policy, whether he admits it or not.

GOD BLESS AMERICA --- GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS --- AND GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BUSH FOR KEEPING TERRORISTS OFF OUR SOIL SINCE 9/11.

VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.

REPLACE-DEMS-IN-CONGRESS1:45PMJul 7th 2008

One of the reasons Hanoi John Kerry, the true ‘American Traitor’, went down so hard in defeat was his elitist attitude. Apparently the liberals need something to attack in order to make them feel better about their continual losses. Zell Miller was right in 2004: “A democratic party no more!”

This election is new territory for our country and it does not look bright; and in my humble opinion, if the Democratic Party continues to control Congress, they will continue to divide our country.

This election has proven one thing: ‘We the People’ is no longer viable; it is ‘We the powerbrokers’!

What you NEED to have — in order to be the Democratic Nominee:
1) Backers with power;
2) Backers with big money;
3) Ability to ‘act/perform’ (poker-face);
4) Great speech writers;
5) MSM in back pocket;
6) DNC in back pocket.

What you DON’T NEED to have — in order to be the Democratic Nominee:
1) Credibility;
2) Experience;
3) Character;
4) Issue Resolutions;
5) Pride in Country;

THE DNC AND BIASED MEDIA ARE DESTROYING AMERICA — BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS “SELECTED” — NOT “ELECTED”.

VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.

TERM-LIMITS1:54PMJul 7th 2008

This election has proven one thing: ‘We the People’ is no longer viable; it is ‘We the DEMOCRATIC powerbrokers’!

The President of The United States is limited to eight years.

ALL political offices should have ‘term limits’ (members of Congress, Supreme Court, etc.). We can’t trust anyone to be good forever.

WE NEED TO REPLACE ALL DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS.

Obama was “selected” — not “elected”.

“We The People” should count — not DNC delegates.

VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.

Susan2:08PMJul 7th 2008

David Knowles, as usual you are showing your bias towards Obama.

Obama is running away to the footbal stadium because he is afraid of riots at the convention. What a coward.

First he cheats to get nominated and then just basically TAKES OVER the DNC.

Democrats should be getting a pretty uncomfortable feeling right about now.

From the day he so arrogantly announced he was the nominee he has just taken over the whole party - moving the DNC to the crime-infested city of Chicago, now decideing where he will make his acceptance speech.

Funny, he hasn't even been elected yet, how is he in control of the DNC?

Can you spell BIG MONEY BEHIND HIM?

It is sickening.

This is one former democrat who will be voting for John McCain this November.

The DNC can stick their American-hating crooked candidate where the sun doesn't shine.

===================================================

Somebody has not been paying attention - there are more people who have gotten OFF the Obama bus. 46% of Democrats say they are NOT voting for Obama.

Some are staying home, some are voting for McCain. Some are writing in Hillary.

No matter, it is still of concern to Obama that barely 1/2 of Democrats are planning to vote for him.

I will bet that by November it will be even less.

This is the worst candidate I have ever seen in the history of the Democratic party.

What the heck were they thinking forcing him on the party? Dean and Pelosi should be kicked out and forced to return whatever money they have recieved from Obama and his thugs for helping him get the nomination.
